My habit each week is to puruse the cupboards and refrigerator for menu planning. This past week as I was reviewing what we had and what we needed, it became obvious that without some miracle, we would not make it until payday as there were no funds to replenish our supplies.
I have been pleading with my Heavenly Father for badly needed help for some time. I have been reminding God of His promises to supply all our needs. I have been claiming favor with my King of King and Lord of Lords. I have been speaking God's word over our lives. Still nothing. And so I prepared the last breakfast, packed the last lunch and planned a meal for dinner.
I have had this sense of expectancy for some time now. I eagerly check the mail and answer phone calls, always waiting for that miracle that I know will come as it has so many times before. This time seems different somehow. And so I continue to wait as nothing is in the mail once again.
And then yesterday afternoon when the water was turned off and the phone was down along with the internet due to work on our street, I just felt such freedom. Can't explain it but I was happy with how my day was going and decided to just rest and wait.
Just before I needed to prepare dinner, my son asked if he could go to the store for us. "Give me a list, Mama" he said. And so, once more we have what we need. The water came back on as did the phone and the internet. Dinner got made, lunches were planned and I know that my son was blessed for providing.
God is great and greatly to be praised. He is our provider and we can trust Him.
